Burkholderia ambifaria is generally associated with the rhizosphere of plants where it has
biocontrol effects on other microorganisms. It is also a member of the Burkholderia cepacia …

A 9.2-kb sequence from a hepatitis C virus (HCV) strain found in southwest France was
compared to sequences from reference strains in HCV sequence databases. We found a …

Ligand–receptor interactions, which represent the core for cell signaling and internalization
processes are largely affected by the spatial configuration of host cell receptors. There is a …

Lectins are glycan‐binding proteins that are involved in the recognition of glycoconjugates
at the cell surface. When binding to glycolipids, multivalent lectins can affect their distribution …

Pathogens frequently rely on lectins for adhesion and cellular entry into the host. Since these
interactions typically result from multimeric binding of lectins to cell‐surface glycans, novel …

Type I interferons (IFNs) bind IFNAR receptors and activate Jak kinases and Stat transcription
factors to stimulate the transcription of genes downstream from IFN-stimulated response …

Multivalency is proposed to play a role in the strong avidity of lectins for glycosylated cell
surfaces and also in their ability to affect membrane dynamics by clustering glycosphingolipids. …

Bacterial lectins are typically multivalent and bind noncovalently to specific carbohydrates
on host tissues to facilitate bacterial adhesion. Here, we analyzed the effects of two fucose-…

Interferons (IFNs) and their receptors (IFN-Rs) play fundamental roles in a multitude of
biological functions. Many articles and reviews emphasize that the JAK/STAT machinery is …

Lectins are glycan-binding proteins with no catalytic activity and ubiquitously expressed in
nature. Numerous bacteria use lectins to efficiently bind to epithelia, thus facilitating tissue …
